drill ,tap and lock
Someone said i should so this if i intend to pull more than 8000 rpm on my turbo streetport motor, the rotors are already race cleared if so any pics or ideas on how to do it.

I'd recommend not to do it!If your engine starves for oil & picks up a rotor bearing it's better to let it lock the bearing onto the crank & let it spin inside the rotor than to have it lock up solid...

We talking about rotor bearings or rotor gears?
Drill, tap, set screw w/ locktite, and peen is Mandeville's method for securing rotor bearings. rxeng makes a good point, but I'd think long and hard about ignoring experience like Roger's. No disrespect intended to rxeng.
Racing Beat uses a snap ring to secure the rotor gear. That's gotta be bullet-proof, but pricey. I know of ppl that have successfully drilled out half dozen of the rolled pins, tapped, set screw with locktite, and peened to secure. Either way works.
Part of the answer to your question lies in your car: what year? Your intentions for the car: street/strip, track days? What HP goal? A Racing Beat catalog (its really a tech manual) will help you decide which high rpm mod's make sense for you application.
